Dear Senior Pastor

“Dear Pastor,

I’ve asked your youth worker and your students’ parents to forward this letter on to you. It’s about the kids in your congregation and the powerful role that you play as their pastor in their spiritual nurture.I know that you’ve got teenagers sitting in your congregation every week. From your vantage point up front, you may spot them daydreaming, napping, zoning out, text-messaging, or even updating their Facebook page.” Read the rest of the article here.
